Mental Health First Aid Training

Through collaborating partners, NYSARH is providing in-person Mental Health First Aid training as part of the Older Adult Rural Support Program (OARS).

What you can expect:

• Just as CPR prepares you to help someone having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge or crisis.
• This FREE, full-day training is designed for farmers, agribusiness workers, and anyone who lives in or serves rural communities—including civic and faith leaders, healthcare providers, and neighbors.
• Now more than ever, these skills are essential. Join us to build your confidence in recognizing the signs of a challenge or crisis and offering meaningful support.
• Participants who complete the course will receive a certificate of completion.
• The training includes a 30-minute lunch break and several short breaks throughout the day. Lunch and refreshments will be provided at no cost.

This course is valued at $170. Supported by Mother Cabrini Health Foundation funding, there is no charge for you to attend the Mental Health First Aid training via the Older Adult Rural Support Program (OARS).
